This paper is concerned with a number of means of characterising the rheological properties of a ceramic paste. The intrinsic flow behaviour of the paste, during upsetting, is studied experimentally by using multi coloured paste samples, as well as by a finite element numerical computation. The flow behaviour of the paste is approximated by an elasto-viscoplastic material constitutive model and implemented by using an established finite element code. The material flow properties, which are necessary for the implementation of the numerical model, were obtained using the squeeze film and hardness indentation test configurations. The flow fields generated by the simulation are shown to be a good accord with the experimental observations. The experimental procedure for selecting the material parameters which are necessary for the implementation of the numerical model is described. The accuracy of the numerical method described is also evaluated by comparing the simulation results with experimental data obtained from the net upsetting force against the imposed relative displacement behaviour and the flow visualisation of deformed coloured layers. In these respects, a comparison of the finite element model predictions and the experimental results demonstrates a good mutual agreement.

Drying kinetics of water-based ceramic suspensions for tape casting
Briscoe, B.J.; Lo Biundo, G.; Özkan, Necati (1998-01-01)
An experimental study is described which seeks to characterise the drying kinetics of water-based ceramic (alumina) suspensions in controlled environments. The drying process of the ceramic suspensions is shown, to a first approximation, to follow a two stage mechanism (initial stage: 'external' evaporation controlled process; and second stage: 'internal' diffusion-controlled process). It has been shown that the temperature, the humidity and the surface area of the samples strongly affects the drying kineti...
Numerical calculation of homogenized properties of piezoelectric composites
Kurt, Mustafa; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-11-25)
Piezoelectric materials are the materials we use in many parts of our lives without being aware. These materials can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa. Although this ability renders piezoelectric ceramics very attractive materials for sensing and actuation applications, their use often remains limited, due to their weight and brittleness. As a result of these drawbacks, piezoelectric composites are developed, and they offer superior performance compared to monolithic piezoelectr...
Analysis of crack initiation and propagation in solid rocket motor nozzle throats
Nigar, Barış; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Graphite is a widely used material in high temperature structural applications due to its high melting point and its mechanical strength and integrity at elevated temperatures. However, rocket nozzles made of graphite are subjected to very high temperatures and pressures that cause cracking and eventual failure. This thesis investigates the reasons of failure and explores design alternatives to overcome this problem. The experimental part of the thesis includes compression tests, tensile tests and fracture ...
Rutting behavior of asphalt concrete modified with recycled concrete aggregate
Gul, Waqar Ahmad; Güler, Murat (2009-07-08)
This paper describes how recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one of the most abundant waste materials that contains quality natural aggregates. RCA use in asphalt concrete not only reduces the total materials cost but also preserves natural resources by fulfilling the demand for quality aggregates in pavement constructions. However, due to variability in RCA characteristics, an evaluation of its effect on asphalt concrete performance is required. In this study, the effect of RCA content on rutting suscepti...
Unprecedented irradiation resistance of nanocrystalline tungsten with equiaxed nanocrystalline grains to dislocation loop accumulation
El-Atwani, O.; Esquivel, E.; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Martinez, E.; Baldwin, J. K.; Li, M.; Uberuaga, B. P.; Maloy, S. A. (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01)
Nanocrystalline metals are often postulated as irradiation tolerant materials due to higher grain boundary densities. The efficiency of these materials in mitigating irradiation damage is still under investigation. Here, we present an in-situ transmission electron microscopy with ion irradiation study on equiaxed 35 nm grained tungsten (NCW-35 nm) and compare its radiation tolerance, in terms of dislocation loop damage, to several other grades of tungsten with different grain sizes at two temperatures (RT a...
